The 2019 VW Atlas comes equipped with a timing chain, but there are several potential engine issues to be aware of. A spark plug could become dislodged, leading to engine problems, while loose gaskets should be promptly tightened. It's important to address any oil leaks promptly and be vigilant about engine overheating to prevent the risk of fires and explosions. Keep an eye out for excessive oil consumption, necessitating more frequent oil changes than usual. The coolant should be changed every 60,000 miles, air filters every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, and spark plugs every 100,000 miles unless they are copper, in which case they should be replaced every 30,000 miles.
